Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world. Participants use Global Positioning System (GPS) devices to hide and seek hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share their experiences online.

Geocache containers come in all shapes and sizes. All caches contain a logbook or logsheet for participants to sign. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets. There are currently over one million active geocaches hidden around the world.
